Q1:
(a) What is the R.F. of an isometric scale?
Answer: The R.F. (Reduction Factor) of an isometric scale is
the ratio used to convert actual measurements to isometric
measurements. In isometric drawings, the scale is different
from orthogonal projections due to the angle at which the
object is viewed. The R.F. for an isometric scale is typically
0.816, meaning each actual length is reduced by 16% when
converted to isometric length.
(b) Differentiate between isometric lines and non-isometric
lines.
Answer:
• Isometric Lines: These are lines that appear at equal
angles (30° to the horizontal) in an isometric drawing.
They represent actual lines that are parallel to the axes
of the object in isometric view.
• Non-Isometric Lines: These are lines that do not align
with the isometric axes (the 30° angles in an isometric
drawing). They appear distorted in an isometric view and
do not maintain their actual length in the drawing. Non-
isometric lines are often used to represent features like
holes or slanted edges.
